The mission to destroy the enemy Gateway was literally a smashing success.

Except the Pirates were too late, and now not one but two of the enemy are loose in the galaxy. And they are equipped with starships more powerful than Valkyrie. A direct fight would be hopeless, so the Pirates must rely on wacky ideas from the mushy brain of a monkey—and some serious sketchiness.

The Expeditionary Force saga continues in book 19 from epic sci-fi writer Craig Alanson and narrated by none other than R.C. Bray.

Great books but it took a lot to motivate me to listen, more sunk loss to get me over the line. I enjoyed the listen, but again missed having the closure I have been longing and was honestly disappointed with we're not done yet... it felt desperate for another book.

Great, but god it's draggin

So good.to have the voice of Joe and Skippy back in my ears again. But damn if Joe doesn't get bitchslapped by the law of unintended consequences again.

Still as good as ever.
